Einstein's theory of relativity introduced the concept of:

  • A Zero gravity in space
  • B Relative space and time
  • C Absolute space and time
  • D Fixed speed of all objects
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Relative space and time
Explanation: Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized physics by proposing that measurements of space and time are relative to the observer's frame of reference, rather than being absolute and universal as previously believed.
